Gin description
Long before the days of Pablo Escobar and Colombian drug lords, the coca plant held a mystical, powerful role to the people who grew them. In ancient Peruvian society, the coca’s leaves were prized throughout the Incan Empire, treasured for its abilities to fight hunger and illness. It took just one chance encounter – a coca leaf chewing ceremony with an indigenous tribe, during a backpacking trip through the rainforest – to bring our founders face to face with the mystical flavors of the coca leaf. Our founders were well suited to transform the coca leaf’s flavors into a gin unlike any other. Between the two of us, we bring a 112 year, 4th generation family history of gin distilling, and an unbridled passion for gin. The result? An incredibly well-balanced, lively combination of subtle, bitter coca, with bright notes of tamarillo, papaya, and South American dragon fruit. And our premium gin is held in the bottle it deserves. Its premium design, created by some of the industry’s most revered designers, is finished with real 24K gold leaf.
